And I read somewhere, that of LOST CITY, the first stone was already
recovered by the locals, when the people from the network arrived.
But neither can't remember where.

Best!

PRIBRAM - Fell April 7, 1959 - first recovered meteorite with a known  
orbit - 19 fragments found, largest 4.3 kg - total 9.5 kg recovered.
			I read somewhere that some fragments were found
prior to the  
trajectory and orbital calculations.  Can anyone confirm this with a  
reference?

LOST CITY - First triangulated meteor photographed by the Prairie  
Network in the U.S.A.  Fell 3 Jan 1970 and found 9 Jan 1970.  Total  
wt. 17kg.
		     - I read somewhere that other fragments from this fall
have  
since been recovered.  Can anyone confirm this with a reference?

INNISFREE 	-  Fell 5 Feb 1977 - Photographed by the Canadian MORP  
Fireball Network - 11 days later a 2.07 kg sample was found a
                            few hundred meters from the predicted  
computer projection.  8 other fragments have since been found, Total  
mass 3.79 kg.
